Safety recall notices and repair campaigns registered for the 2021 Micro Bird T-Series School Bus in Canada.
On certain school buses, the exterior handle for the rear emergency door may not be strong enough. As a result, the handle could break and cause the emergency door not to be able to be opened from the outside.
A door that can't be opened could slow your exit from the bus in an emergency. This could also delay emergency responders from entering the bus. Both issues could increase the risk of injury.
Micro Bird will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your school bus to a dealership to replace the rear emergency door exterior handle.
On certain school buses, the roof hatch (emergency exit) may not have a French label. Canadian regulations require labels to be in English and French.
An emergency exit that's not properly labeled may create confusion. This could increase the risk of injury in an emergency situation.
Micro Bird will notify owners by mail and provide instructions for how to inspect and, if necessary, replace the label. Alternatively, you may schedule an appointment to have the repairs performed at a Micro Bird dealership.
On certain school buses, the seat-level rub rails on the outside of the bus may not have been attached correctly. As a result, there may be reduced protection in a side impact crash.

A door that cannot be opened could delay exiting the bus in an emergency. This could also delay emergency response. Both of these issues could increase the risk of injury.
